HB 761
AN ACT relating to relating to motor vehicle licensing and registration procedures.
In Plain Language
This bill gives military members and National Guard or Reserve members more flexibility with vehicle registration and driver's license renewals. They can renew both up to 280 days early if they'll be stationed outside Kentucky when the documents expire, or renew them after returning home if they were deployed out of state. They'll need to show military orders to prove they need the early renewal.
